Weight and whimsy
The California Sculpture Slam gets weird and wonderful at the SLOMA
BY ANNA WELTNER
A stone tongue curls lecherously toward the ceiling. A bulbous, alien mass suckles a pristine white cube. A binky dangles uselessly from a silver-plated gas mask. There’s no common theme to the 64 works in the California Sculpture Slam, a juried exhibit currently on view at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art; there’s just a general presiding absurdity. The Slam, juried by Charles Arnoldi, is the product of an affiliation between the CentralCoast Sculptors and the museum and represents the efforts of 45 sculptors throughout the state.....

Patter Hellstrom’s Sublime Choreographies of the Centered Self
“Expressive Flow” is the title of Patter Hellstrom‘s upcoming exhibition of remarkable abstract paintings opening at The McLoughlin Gallery on August 4. The title is apt as it conveys the psychological and oceanic quality of the works . Although at first sight one might be reminded of certain abstract expressionists (particularly Helen Frankenthaler), repeated viewings reveal an entirely original sensibility.

Deconstruct Reconstruct: The Art of John Waguespack
Our conversation meandered. We spoke about his journey from finance to graphic design and then to painting. We spoke about the "big break" - getting a solo exhibition at a fine art gallery without the requisite CV - no group exhibitions, no art awards, no articles in prestigious art journals, no work in prominent private or public collections...

Joan McLoughlin: Gallerist makes a choice to give back
From emergency room nurse to gallery owner may seem an unlikely journey. But a middle stint with a string of successful medical device startups and then surviving cancer helps fill in the blanks. Last October, Menlo Park resident Joan McLouglin fulfilled a long-time dream and opened up The McLouglin Gallery in San Francisco...

McLoughlin, John Pence, Chandler, CA Institute of Integral Studies, Electric Works, DA Arts, 111 Min
Review by RWM: Significant collection and variety of sculpture. Some defy explanation or protest. Others will amaze with their unusual forms and physical characteristics. And then there are those that magically capture emotion.

No Fooling, We Mean It! - McLoughlin Gallery
No Fooling, We Mean It!" at The McLoughlin Gallery is a show that is simultaneously playful and serious. The cavernous space of the gallery plays host to several large-scale works by sculptors David Middlebrook, Jeff Schomberg and Doug Thielscher. Each of the sculptors has a different focus, Schomberg on metal, Thielscher on stone, and Middlebrook on mixed materials. But all three present very serious well-constructed and polished piece ("no fooling") with a sense of humor and fun ("fooling"). Additionally, all three are local artists, working and residing in the extended Bay Area.

ArtLtd - May/June 2011 Review
"No Fooling We Mean It!"
at The McLoughlin Gallery
It may be T.S. Eliot's cruelest month, but April always starts in good, silly humor, capering like a late-March lamb. "No Fooling We Mean It!," which opened April first, lives up to its ironic title: the idiosyncratic, witty sculptures of David Middlebrook, Jeff Schomberg and Doug Thielscher explore big philosophical and moral issues without falling into either giddy jokiness or its inverse, badly clothed good intentions.

If You're Going to San Francisco...
With a thriving private gallery and museum scene, San Francisco is far more than the blossoming cousin of LA and New York. Two major art fairs in May, ArtpadSF and San Francisco Fine Art Fair (running May 19 - 22) serve as fitting testament to the city's increasing global significance for fine art. In operation less than a year, San Francisco's The McLoughlin Gallery, nestled inside the esteemed 49 Geary Street arts complex is one such private gallery destined to make a huge impact on the SF arts community...
